The verdict

MER runs at 184% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

MER: 9.6 TCR = 184% of industry BLS 5.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MER safety composite

MER scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 5%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

MER (36 employees, TCR 9.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 4.4

MER has fewer employees than the industry median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.4. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
